A Look Inside: From Geek To Urban

All too often in today's society people are forced into pressures by others to "keep up with the Jones's". Street Wear was originally meant as an alternative to the pricier luxury brands of the era it emerged in for youth who also sought to be fashionable but couldn't afford the high costs. Today it has turned into the exact opposite. Teenagers are faced with having to buy over-priced brands because they are seen as a status symbol. Often the less fortunate kids are viewed ass less cool because they cannot compete due to economic differences. From Geek To Urban is a welcome solution to this long time problem."FGTU’s fresh and vibrant designs feature the spectacular created from the simplistic, and 

embrace the multiple facets of everyone’s individuality. A brand more than ten years in the making, FGTU is an affordable alternative to pricier yet comparably fashionable labels." FGTU is showing people that you can't put a price on style. Here's A Look Inside: From Geek to Urban.

A Look Inside: Nerdy

 I know I've been slacking due to some technical difficulties, but heres the newest A Look Inside: featuring  the Nerdy brand which has a very dope purpose. “Nerdy brand is a style platform that serves to reverse the set definitions in culture. First with the way intellectuals are defined and treated, then with how we define the quality of our lives. Ultimately, Nerdy is a push against anti-intellectualism. Think of ‘Nerdy’ as cultural combat on behalf of those that may not fit into the finely cut mold of the commonly expected and accepted.” Nerdy is a brand that celebrates the diversity and the differences that makes each and every one of us unique. With their dope concepts and outlooks I must say that Nerdy is a brand after my own heart.
Awhile back I was able to connect with Desmond Owusu from Nerdy and he was very helpful in helping me gain an insider's perspective of the brand. Here's A Look Inside: Nerdy
